It would be necessary to make ovn-controller add a VXLAN port without specifying a remote_ip. This would require changes to the ovn-controller C sources. But this question raises two kinds of other issues. First, OVN uses VXLAN only for connecting to hardware switches, which in OVN are only useful for incorporating bare-metal physical hardware into a logical network. That's a pretty specialized use case. Second, this would only be useful for one-way connectivity, because OVN wouldn't have any idea when it should send packets back the other way. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
